The Apple Watch may be our top pick for the best smartwatch you can get right now, but not everyone is going to feel comfortable spending $400 on a wearable particularly if you've never had one before. Instead, we recommend the Apple Watch SE for folks who fit into that category, and October Prime Day deals are making it even more tempting to pick one up. The Apple Watch SE has dropped to a new low of $170 for the sale event, which is about $80 off. While there were rumors Apple was going to release a new Watch SE in September alongside the latest iPhones, that didn't materialize. The second-gen SE remains the most up-to-date version of the wearable, and it has very specific omissions to get its price down, namely the lack of an always-on display, no blood oxygen or temperature monitoring and no support for the Double Tap feature introduced with the Series 9. But otherwise, the Apple Watch SE has all of the core features that the main Apple Watch Series 10 does including all-day activity and sleep monitoring, heart rate tracking, emergency calling, up to 50 meters of water resistance, crash detection and excellent workout tracking. It has a built-in GPS for making the latter even better, mapping outdoor activities like runs, and bike rides. And since it syncs seamlessly with iPhone, you can consider it an extension of your handset. That means you'll receive call, text and app notifications to your wrist and you can decide which are important enough to whip out your phone for, or which can be left for later. That said, arguably the biggest downside of the Apple Watch SE is one that all Apple Watches share they only work with iPhones. But chances are, if you're even considering an Apple Watch at all, you likely have the phone you'd need to use it (Android users should consider Samsung or Google wearables instead). And at this sale price, it'll be hard to beat for iPhone users who are new to smartwatches or if you're looking for a gift for an iPhone user in your life who you know is keen on tracking their activity more consistently or looking at the phone less throughout the day.

We consider Apple's AirPods Pro to be the best wireless earbuds for iPhone owners, and you can snag a pair for less right now thanks to October Prime Day. The AirPods Pro are down to $169 for the sale event, which represents a decent discount over the regular $250 price. Apple may not have fully revamped these buds back in September like it did with the standard AirPods, but it did bring a bunch of new features to the AirPods Pro 2. Voice isolation is designed to make you sound better on calls, while Siri interactions let you use gestures like a head nod to say yes to Siri during times when you can't use your voice to reply. Arguably the biggest new feature coming to the AirPods Pro is the hearing test and the ability to use the earbuds as over-the-counter hearing aids. That hasn't rolled out just yet, but it's expected sometime before the end of the year. Otherwise, the AirPods Pro 2 have excellent sound quality, with equally solid ANC to match, plus a Transparency Mode that's hard to beat. Like all other Apple earbuds, the Pros support seamless pairing and switching between other Apple devices. So while they're great for folks with an iPhone, you'll get even more use out of them if you live within the Apple ecosystem and have other devices like an iPad or a MacBook. Their design might be a little stale at this point, and you could say their battery life is just average, but the AirPods Pro remain a solid option for iPhone users looking for a reliable pair of wireless earbuds. If you're not willing to spend quite so much, consider the AirPods Pro 4 with ANC, which just came out last month.

At this year's London Fashion Week, Malwee one of Brazil's largest names in everyday clothing announced a t-shirt capable of capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The Ar.voree t-shirt, which borrows its name from árvore, the Portuguese word for tree, absorbs CO2 while worn. When the t-shirt is washed, the captured CO2 reacts with regular laundry detergent and is broken down into sodium bicarbonate. Absorbent agents in the fabric are simultaneously recharged, and the process can start all over again: wear, capture, wash, repeat.Malwee partnered with Singapore-based startup Xinterra, which combined AI and high-throughput experimentation to develop its COzTERRA fabric finish from scratch to patent application in just 11 months. Malwee will be rolling out Ar.voree t-shirts later this year and claims a single tee can capture 12.6 grams of CO2, with 25 shirts absorbing as much as one mature tree does in a day.Meanwhile, new Singapore label Kemunna just opened waitlists for its two inaugural t-shirts, both of which were treated with COzTERRA. One simply says, "CO2 capture in progress," while the other fittingly references then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew's 1967 vision of transforming Singapore into a green and lush Garden City and shows iconic Peranakan shophouses "reimagined with an AI solar-punk twist." By turning a ubiquitous piece of clothing into an active participant in fighting climate change, COzTERRA, Malwee and Kemunna challenge conventional notions of eco-friendly fashion. As COzTERRA puts it, the textile treatment enables every human to become a CO2 removal agent. One to get it on early?
